Romeo, oh Romeo Well I am afraid we do. Obviously. One of the assignments for the screen writing course was to come up with a character description of a character you would like to use in your story. Now out of a class of 14 people : 14 people chose a male as their main [...]

The Girl In The Cafe I love this project. And I love it when people love the film and write a nice review. The latest one comes from Aarhus, Denmark where Dorte wrote a wonderful review about this wonderful film. Sit back and relax, make a cup of tea, find a biscuit or two and [...]

Museum of London Museum of London Wandering through the city, looking for both my mind and my lawless heart, I suddenly stood in front of the Museum of London. I guess it was about time to strike something from my to-see list again.

Efter brylluppet (2006) Cast Mads Mikkelsen, Rolf Lassg?rd, Sidse Babett Knudsen Director Susanne Bier I have to admit – the best films still get made in Denmark. And I felt awkward to watch a Danish film in a London cinema. There was a short moment of longing back, to the Danish cinemas and Danish film, [...]

Crazy Chick OK. Stand up. Check your room. Is there space enough? Make sure of that, particularly on the floor. Put the volume up. Take off shoes unless they are comfortable. Ready? Press play. (Too late …) Go nuts for a minute or three. Realize that the lyrics aren’t great, but let’s state here that [...]

Miracles

For you and I Do you know where this quote comes from, and this time without running to google right away ? I didn’t.

He’s a comedian, actor, broadcaster, traveller and writer. And while not all comedians are indeed funny, he definitely is. He seems to be a truly sympathetic person too. And he is a man I wouldn’t mind drinking a cup of tea with. So when I stumbled upon a flyer saying that he was going to [...]

Rain The guy in the Curzon Soho ticketbooth: “Are you German?” “Ahhha. No, I am Dutch.” “Oh, sorry, that must be quite an insult!” “Well it isn’t the most sexy compliment ever, but hey.” “I have been to Holland once, to Friesland in the north.” He really tried hard. “Where are you from then, you [...]

Spamalot, Palace Theatre, London Spamalot, the Monty Python musical finally opened in London 2 days ago, after a successful ride (Tony Award) on Broadway. I am normally not that crazy about musicals, I tend to find them boring. But Spamalot is not your average musical, it kicks ass. It takes the piss out of every [...]

Persistence

Round and round Floating around I’m led astray I want my tea The Milky Way

Reflections Reflections (Camden Lock by night) How long does it take to get through 71 days nowadays. I am so eager to go to NY – I can’t wait that long! The scary thing about class is the fact that the stuff you have written gets presented in front of the class. I told our [...]

Anti Beauty – Battersea Powerstation I loved this building from the very first second I saw it. Today I saw it from close by.

Children of Men Tagline: In 2027, in a chaotic world in which humans can no longer procreate, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea, where her child’s birth may help scientists save the future of humankind. No children. No future. No hope. Very nice use of [...]

Drawing with Light Drawing with lights in Dingwalls : Love Actually in Lights It was about half a year ago I last saw her, in Dingwalls in Camden. At that time I had just arrived in London. Now 6 months later, Camden is a place I know relatively well, and I am no longer that [...]

Isle of Wight Dinosaur Poo And that is all you are going to get from me today. My colleague (Wow are they going to make it to the blog? Yes they did!) brought them from the Isle of Wight (on the list of to-visit), and they taste excellent with a cup of tea (with milk).

Train There was the guy with the sunglasses chewing gum, and a matchstick casually balancing on his lower lip waiting to fall off, but it didn’t. There was the Harry Potter boy lost in his book, and there was the man reading “Mathematical Foundations” a book as big as a bible, and not the most [...]

Kaiser Chiefs Not only did I get a subscription for the BFI/NFT for my birthday from my colleagues, they also gave me half a year of Love. Lovely, Actually, I need Love. And despite the fact that I do think you need to see a film in the darkness of a cinema, this turned out [...]

Watching people doing audition for a role was another new film making related experience. One of my fellow wannabe filmmakers is going to shoot a short, and he was kind enough to have me around to watch the process. The setup was a short piece of a script where 2 people, one a nurse, and [...]
